A Modern Fairytale Wedding with Countryside Garden Touches

Jacqui and Aaron’s autumn Charlottesville wedding delivered top-of-the-world backdrops. The intimate Montalto at Monticello mountaintop ceremony overlooked the city and countryside while the gracious Repose 1908 American Country home transformed into a stately venue festooned in distinctive early American provincial style.

​

Charlottesville wedding event planner Sarah Elizabeth Schmidt accentuated the groom’s crisp blue suit and emerald tie and bridesmaid’s dresses in ethereal sky blue, tying in Willow Branch Flowers’ free-flowing bouquets of blush and cream roses intermingled with vibrant violet, blue and yellow florals. Charlottesville wedding photographer Anna Kardos Photography brought forth true-to-life colors in sweet October sunset embraces and the bride’s exquisite floating train, glittering gold heels and low-swept goddess hair.

​

Cocktail hour came together on the landscaped multi-level terrace overlooking the city and mountains with décor by MS Events creating a clean, pretty reception space in white and baby blue. Bread baskets, gourmet farm fresh salads and a coursed dinner by The Local Catering impressed with farm-to-table offerings.
